No I don't,

The Greek public servants have been paying themselves more than twice
those in Germany. Nice work if you can get it.

Ireland got skanked by multinationals (Such as D.E.C. and others) who
signed the Irish up for no taxation deals for fixed periods and then
buggered off to Malaysia/Singapore etc the instant the tax concession
finished.

Ireland also benefitted big time from C.A.P. subsidies which have run
out now because there's not enough cash to go round subsidising the
new eastern European accession countries.

I've worked in Athens, Dublin and Boston USA. Their problems are
totally different. Trust me.

Do I have to go on?

What do you think ?

The same patterns are present in all these countries.

If you mean their politicians (Like the Grinnmeister and Prudence mac
****e-Features) are not fit to be trusted with a bucket of dead ashes
I'd tend to agree.
